Has nothing to do with being sheep or whatever...

the vagueness of the OP's question suggest that we indeed just become good little brainwashed sheep to the slaughter, or else the OP would be more specific as to what is deemed a conspiracy and what is deemed a theory. Because everybody knows the term "Conspiracy Theory" is an oxymoron that cannot co-exist in the same dialouge..

So, doesn't that mean if you are asking others to stop believing in conspiracy thoeries, that you are being swayed by them yourself and are the very person you are asking others to condemn?

Others like you from places outside of America know (*)(*)(*)(*) well what is going on in America, better than most Americans. Now honestly, when Americans like me talk about globalists and the central banking cartel, are we conspiracy theorists, or are those who can't see what is completely obvious retarded?

That depends on whether this poster had worked in the U.K. Merchant banking industry for 28 years and was involved in the likes of what happened in Wall Street, wouldn't it?

Just admit it. For the love of God, life and liberty. For the love of humanity. It has got to stop.

Conspiracy theory is certainly a possibility...

No...

If I felt folks should stop being so gullible and believing every little CT that comes along, that wouldn't indicate any sort of sway...

What has got to stop?

The mockery called representation. The pimping of the populace of every western nation the central banking cartel reigns over. The entirety of America being used by a few for global conquest. A world condemning a nation that is a shell of such, without control of its own destiny, and then agreeing with those who keep the masses of said nation ignorant of its design and intention. The programmed status quo will only awaken when they realize even though they outnumber the "conspiracy theorists" internally, their perception is that of a cheap design, with the tact and integrity of a used car dealership commercial.

For instance, two people cannot rationally discuss foreign policy at all if one is under the sway of 9/11 truth. It is impossible, because the two people would not even be able to agree on a common reality, let alone a common policy. The conspiracy theorist is incapable of having a rational discussion with a non-conspiracy theorist regarding policy, and often puts forth extremist arguments/solutions for problems that do not even exist. For instance, a person who beleives Republicans are responsible for 9/11, will do everything he can to disrupt and tear down a Republican Government, even if that Government is a relatively good one.



Conspiracy theories are the heart and soul of extremist groups around the world and clearly "harm trust in government" to the point that a society can barely function at all. These are just the worst ones. We don't even discuss the small ones people beleive such as the GOP is controlled by the Koch Brothers and the Democrat Party by George Soros.

What are we to do in a world where false "truths" can be spread easily by charlatans and the delusional? Is giving the village retard a megaphone really a good idea? How do we stop conspiracy theorists from slowly undermining public faith in society, governance and law itself?

This is the equivalent of asking: "When will the government tell the truth?"

Debate them. Show them where they are wrong.
